Tools for Collaboration in Office 365
In today’s hybrid working environment we use many types of application. Microsoft 365 is particularly suited to hybrid or collaborative working.

Depending on the permissions set others can edit and change a document.

About Shelley Fishel
Shelley didn’t get the education she wanted when she was younger. By the time she was 17, she had left school to take over running her father’s business. So, she’s always had a head for organizing. Give her a list and she’s happy. Done √ Next!
When her kids grew, and she moved back into the workforce 25 years ago she streamlined admin processes and then found a wonderful training company where she learned her trade as a trainer. Her next step was starting her own training company.
She discovered she loved working with PAs and EAs. She gets how they think and what they do. They have lots of different responsibilities and contacts; they’re the lynchpin, sorting everything and everybody out. And above all, their goal is to help their executive perform at their best.
Shelley can relate to that, because she wants nothing more than to help YOU perform at your best.
Over the years she’s realized that she loves to break down complex activities into simple steps that she can explain in a step-by-step practical way. #loveroflists
Even though she is a Microsoft expert, having sold over 2.5 million books about Microsoft techniques, translated into several languages, she prefers to say she helps you get things done quicker, easier, and more elegantly (and without drowning in Google first).
As one of her long-term clients said about her recently: “Shelley’s like the angel on my shoulder”.
